With this unique concept in mind, Dulles International hosts a “dress rehearsal” from ticket counter to plane that is designed to give these families a mock -- yet realistic -- opportunity to experience travel through the airport before their actual trip.

Dulles International has held several successful Wings for All events since the program began. Families were able to practice entering the airport, navigating the terminal, getting boarding passes at the ticket counter, checking bags, passing through TSA security screening and boarding an aircraft at a gate.

Increasing Awareness

Not only is this a benefit to the families who participate, but Wings for All also provides a valuable training opportunity for the various airport personnel to learn how to better accommodate individuals with special needs. We want everyone to have a positive travel experience at Dulles International!

We are pleased to announce that our next Wings For All Event will be held Saturday, March 17th 2018. For additional information on the event, please e-mail us at: wingsforall@mwaa.com.

Note: Participation is free of charge, and participants do not have to be affiliated with The Arc of Northern Virginia. Registration information for the Arc can be found below:
